Gloria Estefan Buys Condos Fenway

Symphony Court in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood
Latin Music Diva, Gloria Estefan, has purchased a new two-bedroom, two-bath condominium in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood for $1.1 million.
Estefan purchased the home for her daughter who is a freshman at the Berklee College of Music. The home is a 1,473-square-foot unit on Westland Avenue near Symphony Hall and is located in the 48-unit redevelopment of a 1910 brick & limestone building dubbed “Symphony Court.”

Some of the features of the building:

9′ to 11′ ceilings

5″ hickory hardwood floors throughout

Expansive energy efficient dual action tilt-turn windows

Recessed light fixtures

Solid core doors

Brushed nickel hardware

Intercom system

“She’s an amazing musician — the best of all of us,” Estefan said. “She plays drums, guitar, piano. And she can sing…She sounds very similar to me…I would’ve loved to play an instrument like Emily. When you’re a frontman for a band, there’s nowhere to hide. It took me a long time to get used to that. But music is my first love. I started singing when I talked. For Emily, since she was 2 or 3, she’d make drum sets from garbage pails and things.”

From the developer website:

A walk through Boston’s Symphony/Fenway Cultural District puts you at the doorstep of the world’s most acclaimed cultural destinations: the Museum of Fine Arts with its new Art of the Americas wing; the incomparable Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and its new performance venue where every seat is in the front row; and Symphony Hall, home of America’s favorite orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra. And you haven’t even scratched the surface. Dine in a museum courtyard, or duck into an authentic ethnic restaurant. Take a short walk to Boston’s beautiful Back Bay and South End Victorian neighborhoods for the best shopping, dining and night life in the city. All are easily accessible by public transportation with stops on the Orange and Green lines.
